The Man Who Stayed Dead.

Just beyond Crosby hall, passing under an arch, we found Great St. Helen's, one of the oldest churches in London, and were well repaid for our trouble. It is simply square divided into two aisles by massive pillars; its floor an ancient pavement of stones, part of which are gravestones. Having been in very early times connected with a nunnery, the stairs leading to the dormitores lead directly into the church, and at one side stone gratings are shown where the nuns came to listen to the service. There are many curious ancient tombs here, one being a very large square edifice, stand ing out into and about filling one aisle al that point. Being very peculiar, we questioned its meaning, and were told that it was built by Mir. Francis Ban croft for himself; that his coffin was tc be put there with the lid so that he could lift it, as he had great horror of com ing to life after burial. He also had |; key to the tomb and one to the churcl left there, and vessel of water, and Ii, left money to certain men to visit tn tomb once year. But as our guide said

Cigarette Smoking.

It is perfectly well known to physi- clans that excessive cigarette smoking does do great deal of harm, and that man may die from carrying the practice to an excess. In the first place, people who smoke cigarettes do more smoking than those who use cigars and pipes. If a man is going to leave his office to run across the street for minute, or is walk ing to take horse car, he will not light a cigar; he knows it must be thrown away immediately, and sense of econ omy restraints him. But if he is in the habit of rolling cigarettes, he may take whiff at any time, and is pretty sure to be always doing it. The result is that where a non smoker has the benefit of some fresh air in the lungs whenever he is out of doors, the cigarette smoker takes in air charged with nicotine.
 Smokers of cigars and pipes do not, as a rule, inhale smoke, but cigarette smok- CTS do. Why this should be, it is difficult to say, but it is an acknowledged fact that it is so. It is thus easy to see why the results of cigarette smoking should be 30 baneful. The air in reaching the lungs and the blood goes through the windpipe and the bronchial tubes. Be tween the windpipe and the lungs the bronchial tubes keep dividing into two. This incessant subdivision reduces them ultimately to great ineness. In the lungs they are scarcely wider than hair. At the end of each bronchial tube there is what is called a pneumonia giobule. It is in this globule that the air and blood meet; it is here that the blood becomes '.aerated," or oxygenized. In the case of men who inhale the smoke of cigar cites, these globules, instead of receiving fresh air, receive air charged with nico- tine. In order to know the extent to which the lungs receive tho poisoned air it is only necessary to remember that the area of these pneumonia globules is some 200 square feet.
 There is a popular notion that the paper wrappings of cigarettes do the mis- chief. The paper perhaps does burn the mouth. The wrappers of some Turkish cigarettes are impregnated with opium and these, of course, do harm; but that is not the fault of the cigarette. The trouble with cigarettes is that people vii smoke cigarettes at times when they wll not smoke cigars, and that cigarette smokers thus use more tobacco thar other people, and that cigarette smoker i1hale tobacco and take into the lung

The Oxidation of Zinc.

The expensive outdoor use of zinc by builders at the present time has directed attention to the peculiar process of oxida- ton which this metal undergoes, and which is so important to be considered in all applications involving exposure. The rusted surface does not rub off or blow away, but forms a sort of hard crust or enamel upon the surface of the metal, and when laid upon boarding which is or may become damp or exposed to steam or condensation below, it rusts on both sides. The thin zines first introduced ill this way were rusted through, brittleness ensuing, and failure being the result. But if the zinc be of sufficient thickness, after a certain time oxidation ceases, and the result is body of solid, sound metal, incasedahaEe and below by solid coat ing, thoroughly impermeable to the acci- dents of weather or temperature, and which requires no painting. The various ways of spreading zinc consist mainly ir laying it in a corrugated form without boarding, the trusses of iron or wood oi the roof carrying the weight, or in raf. ters about one foot, more or less, apart with a corrugation at each rafter only, ol upon a general surface of boarding, il the manner of a lead aat.-Bostor | Budget.

AN INVITATION.

Zee then--the clouds are broken Even now The woodland ways are greening, and new hope Perched on each lifting blade, fills all the air With voiceless murmurs, speaking to tine soul
 Come, o sad hearts-a little turn away, A little from lifes killing care be tempted It Is not far to heaven whenepripg Is near; Elysium, now, is just outside the city, And paradise awaits you in the fields. Come while you may, for life is not forever
 A little only, and then comes the end. And will ye toll on, making mock of life, Stifing the hungering spirits cry within you, Scorning to rest-until unhindered death Makes bold to lay you even with the clayf Then shall the sod bloom, and ye will not know; The branch shall blossom, but ye will net see; The soft winds woo-but ye shall rise no more!
 Come then; o turn today!-a little turn From toll and care, while yet the heart hath feel
 ing;
 Turn to the woodlands and the springing fields. The spicewood buds; the robin hath returned. Believe me, O believe me! nothing stays Of all we gather at the spirits cost. Gold for the sake of gold-alas! the days Spent in such seeking are so much life lost. Robert Burns Wilson in The Critic.

The Indian "sredicine Man."

The so called ''Indian doctor," who penetrates our cities and towns, or per ambulates the villages and rural districts, preying upon the superstitions of clvill- zation, if really red man, is never a true sham or medicine man, but some lxnave, who has prof1ted by association with the whites, taking leaf from the book of the pale faced charlatan. By assumed stoicism, dignity, imperturba- bility and brevity of speech, the reasons for which last are obvious, along with glances replete with concentrated wis dom, he has little difficulty in securing dupes and following.
 The true sham, or medicine man, !" Is little understood by civilization, since he exhibits a phase of savage life that Is rarely permitted to come under casual observation. Very far from being a mere knavish varlet, conspicuous for un- blushing impudence and petty chicanery as commonly depicted, he is instead a staid, earnest, shrewd, farseeing man, more than ordinarily endowed with per captive faculties sharpened by observa- l tion and training, and accustomed to re, ceive impressions and draw conclusions from matters so trivial as to elude gen eral comprehension. As a rule he ii honest-as the world goes-and firm believer in the truthfulness and advan tages of his calling. The deceits he prac tices are unavoidable, and less with |; view to delude humanity than to cajol' and beguile the unseen and unknown He is ''mind reader" psychologist nlesmerist and clairvoyant in one-of n' mean ability; an endowment that though sometimes inherent, is oftener in culcated and developed through ecstasia e.

Draining the pinsk Marshes.

An immense drainage work undertaken by the Russian government contemplates the recovery of the vast region known as the Pinsk marshes, in the southwest of Russia near the borders of Gallicia, and which hitherto has prevented communi- cation, not only between the Russian dis tricts on either side, but also between Russia and Austro-Germany. Up to the present time about 100000 acres have been reclaimed by means of the construc- tion of several thousand miles of ditches and canals, York Sun.

Why Scouts Wear Long Hair.

I know that a great many good men have a decided prejudice against long haired men, such as Cody, Carver and myself, but few know that there is a method in this seeming madness of the western scout. Among the Sioux In dians, Custer was respected and feared as was no other man, and he wore his blonde curls far down his back. The Sioux Indian has the hair from the side of his head cut off short, but that on the scalp he allows to grow long, and hang down in three braids. It is his defiance to his enemy. It says here is my scalp, with convenient handle to it, come and take it if you can. A short haired man is looked upon as Q coward. The Indian is readily impressed with display, and have no doubt that my long hair and my fringed buckskin and bead trimmed scouts uniform has often saved my life Capt.

COUNTING VIZ THE VOTE
Almost Complets Returns From the Electioi
Hold IN Dakota on Tuss-
Division Carries of Course, and Most Of tn
Counties vots fbr Prohibi-
ton.

The returns from Dakota are very incom-
plete and unsatisfactory, but enough have
been received to show that division has car
ried, also that prohibition has been carried in
four-ffths Of the counties Ia the territory.
The vote was very light, and IN many
counties no returns have been received,
therefore nothing but an estimate can be
made. The annexed table gives the vote as
Tar received with estimates In the counties
where the returns are incomplete or from
which no returns have been sent The totals
show that the majority for division In the
territory Is IL. SSI. and for prohibition H.
O31. These figures viii no doubt be con-
siderably changed by the official count.
North Dakota votes against division
with q majority Of 2,O4O, and
South Dakota votes for division
with q majority OF 14.92l. The table
shows that only nix counties have given a
majority against prohibition, but this viii no
doubt be altered when more complete re-
turns are In. Hugh ]. Campbell estimates
the majority for division in South Da-
kota at $4,000, but this Is wide
Of the mark. Maj. Edwards
Of Fargo estimates the majority for division
at 10000. and says 80 per cent Of the terri
tory IL Tor prohibition. He further says that
North Dakota has given . majority for divis-
ion, which the face Of the returns so far do
not show:

Threw u an Eel.

which weighed nineteen ounces and
was sixteen inches long. It was Of q

used water from the FIRE hydrant in

dark Steiner drank down Something
that seemed to him to be as large az q

taken with terrible pains in his
stomach. and was treated in turn for
indigestion, neuralgia Of the heart,
gastritis and tapeworm. The pain
became 30 bad that he took large
doses of morphine. This did him no
permanent good, until q few days ago
he took q large emetic, but without
effect. He told the doctor he was CO.

been o temperate man, and, having
provided himself with a quart Of
whisky, he proceeded to load up.
After taking halfthe liquor he went to

he threw up the eel. When shown the
reptile he nearly tainted. He is doing
